Summer Berry Salad with Creamy Berry Vinaigrette

Ana Coronado
July 18, 2024
Strawberries and blueberries are mixed with Spring mix and topped with walnuts, Point Reyes blue cheese, and the dreamiest, creamiest Berry Vinaigrette. I like adding some grilled chicken to mine, but this is optional. This salad is delicious without the chicken, too.
